That is a SongCrime; it’s one of the most appalling uses of musical notes for the stimulation of human ears that I have ever encountered.
It’s not that it almost reproduces that unconscionable mistake that was the soundtrack to a horrific parody of a motion picture note for cringe-inducing note; no, this error of quarter-notes, paradiddles and cheese-sprinkled synthesizers is an abomination that crawled out of a reeking swamp into the light of day, blinking stupidly, all by itself.
I never got into the whole “corporate nationalism” thing, and I’m far from a communist. That said, I find it all fascinating as phenomena.
